This spinach artichoke bread gives you all the flavor of the dip piled high onto crispy bread and topped with lots of cheese.
I have a weird phobia about artichokes.
I think they’re very odd.
If you look at them they don’t even appear like they should be eaten! I should probably also confess I have never actually had fresh artichokes before.
Again, they freak me out. I’m sorry.
So now that you know how I feel about artichokes I’m sure you are wondering why I made bread that contained artichokes.
Well, they came from a can and somehow just seemed more normal looking.
Plus I’m a huge fan of spinach artichoke dip so I figured I couldn’t go wrong with the dip slathered over bread and covered in cheese.
Dip + bread + cheese = mouth happiness.
